The Blue, Purple and Green groups had a wonderful morning at the Centre learning about nature, weather and the seasonal changes of Autumn. We searched for mini-beasts in the soil and under rocks and logs, and made lovely rubbings of leaves that we found along the path.
The Centre is a wonderful riverside setting right here in Edinburgh, on the 44 bus route and would make a great family outing at the weekend too – enjoy!http://www.waterofleith.org.uk/centre/
PICKING BRAMBLES
We had a lovely walk along the old railway picking brambles. We brought them back to nursery and will use them for our snack!
The old railway is just off Russell Road. ‘Brambles’ are the Scottish name berries that in some other parts of the UK are called blackberries.
The Musuem of Childhood is hosting free teddies and trains workshops at 10.30pm and 1.30pm tomorrow.
Bring along a toy and make your own themed basket to keep them in.
Mrs Samina Mustaq, our EAL teacher, met with parents whose children have English as an additional language.
She provide advice and answered the questions parents had about how they could support their child’s English and home language development during their time at nursery and at home.
Afterwards some of our feedback from the parents was:
‘A wonderful session for all other language parents’
‘The EAL Session was very helpful and encouraging’
‘The EAL session was really helpful – solved some of the questions we had’.
We had a lovely morning at the Gorgie/Dalry Toy Library. We found out how to join the Library which has over 240 toys for families to borrow and the children had a great time playing with some of the toys.
The Toy Library is in St. Martin’s, Dalry Road, just along from the school. It is open every Monday between 10am – 11.30am. There is also a parent and toddler group at St Martin’s at the same time. Everyone is welcome!
